Project Gravity’s Very First Trailer Lifts Off

As the week rolls along, Sony keep letting out more Project Gravity information, little by little. Today, they launched the game’s website in Japan, with even more screenshots and a trailer for the PlayStation Vita game.

Having a Odin Sphere-like game on a portable will feel more awesome, at least for me, i will get that one for PSV… Unless we download it from the psn and the same file works for PSV and PS3? o-o

(Disqus is all kinds of messed up lately. Comments take ages to appear, I’m seeing your response to my post on the top of the comment section… What is happening =P)

The game was announced for both the Vita and PS3 (like SFxTekken or TekkenxSF or whatever), so it’ll probably be released on both systems. Of course, there’s the possibility of cross-platform play. Regarding that, I just found this:

Q: I saw your demo of “Ruin,” a game that can be played on both Vita and PS3, with progress saved online so you can pick up where you left off on either machine. How soon will that be a standard feature on your platforms?

A: This is a big idea. This doesn’t exist in the market today but it will exist when PlayStation Vita launches. They need to buy a game on each platform — that’s important to note.

To be honest, the whole 4 player co-op doesn’t interest me in the least, and I’d much rather have a Muramasa sequel (I find the setting much more appealing) but hey… More Vanillaware is good Vanillaware.

I’m wondering who will be first to spring on ‘Dual’ releases. Pack in of the PS3 and Vita versions of a game for $70-80. That probably won’t fly with the ‘suits’ but I think a lot of people who own both would jump on that if they did it.

[The Hunter] Doomrider

There’s probably a market for that kind of release, but to me, buying two versions of the same game would be just wasting money, even though one of them is portable.

I think the suits will/would agree to it, as long as it brings them the monies =P

Joanna

Yeah I have to agree. Even buying “improved” versions of games is a waste of money to me. I have to really really love the game to get it again or it has to have a truckload of new content (like FFIV: Complete Collection, the After Years make it worth a second purchase).

I hope this trend does not continue because then I won’t have any reason to buy a Vita as I already own a PS3. I much prefer handhelds, but I just cannot bring myself to spend 250$ if I can already play these games. :/

Barrit

Thanks for the link. I was wondering how that was going to work exactly. My thought was that you needed to buy the Vita version and since the game cards only fit in the Vita machine, it required a Vita to transfer a copy of the game onto your PS3 or something?

I don’t see buying 2 versions of the game though unless it was one I absolutely loved and saw myself playing for hundreds of hours.

[The Hunter] Doomrider

For games that are released on both platforms, it only makes sense that you have to buy both versions if you want to play on both systems (not everyone is Valve, unfortunately).

When you feel like playing the Vita exclusives on a big screen, well… There’s always TV-out, right? =P You can pretend you’re playing it on the PS3, what with all the nice graphics and dual analogs (what a godsend these are).

But, like you, I also wouldn’t buy two versions of the same game unless I really, really loved it.

Ren

They already said long ago when they first revealed it as NGP that it wouldn’t support TV-out. Probably so people will have to buy the PS3 versions of the games to play on HDTVs.

As for the rest: LBP and Modnations don’t interest me at all, Super Stardust is a nice little game, sure, and Sound Shapes and Little Deviants look fun, but not the kind of games I would actually love (from the very little we’ve seen).

This one, however, seems like it could be so much more than any of those games, you know? Maybe I’m expecting too much, but it just screams “potential” to me. Really curious about this.

Well I don’t have a ps3 so for me this makes two game, only 2 or 3 more to say that the vita é bella.

[The Hunter] Doomrider

Ooooh. Ohohoh.

Something tells me you’ve wanted to make that joke/pun as soon as you knew it was called Vita, no?=P

kylehyde

Actually it was more like something that suddenly popped on my mind early morning since I read the good news about the “no region lock” on the psvita and since a liked that movie I wanted to make a pun/homenage of the same.

And now that I’m reading the list of game of this handheld, I’m going to say that 1 more and sony will take my money.

Barrit

Wow this game looks beautiful! If this ends up being a launch title, I don’t think I’ll be able to resist you Vita!

Hraesvelgr

There was some demo gameplay that IGN posted with English text, so it being a launch title is quite possible, I think.

Barrit

Awesome. The very short snippet they showed during the Sony presentation had me worried this game was falling behind schedule, but that is very good news!

Barrit

Sorry about double post, my post didn’t show up.

Apollonis

12 seconds in looks kind of suspicious, ahaha.

I’m left with nothing much to say except the generic:

Amongst Top Reasons to get PSV

Gravity Daze is going to be the very first game I’m getting for my PSV. It looks amazing! Also on a side note the trailer doesn’t do Kitten justice, she’s too cute! (On the official Japanese site they call her Kitten). =^_^= Kitten/Kat for the win!

The problem is that the music is very adventurous and somewhat uplifting. It’s good music, and they could even make it work. The game itself, however, featured dark visuals with characters that seem confident, yet ambiguous. The music should fit a more mysterious tone, not quite scary, but curious and a little dangerous maybe. I’d expect it to take some notes from dot hack actually.

kyuketsukimiyu

I agree, and I doubt it is representative of what will appear in the game. That seemed like kind of a rushed trailer, and they still haven’t even confirmed the title, so they may still be working on the OST and just grabbed a stock song for the trailer.

I have to say, I don’t like this game art style and color choices the least, but the concept looks kinda cool. And clunky too, but I’ll bet we’re just seeing something in early development, it’ll probably be better.

Music totally reminds of some old school tactical rpg games.

noctis_nox

This game will is a fresh air for me because of the suffocating shooter this gen. Trololol!

Boris_Althema

Striking visuals!
